Kagami's POV
Luka and I returned home, him towing a few bags in his hands. He happily opened the door for me and of course, the lights were off. I grinned knowingly. Suddenly the lights switched on and behold, everyone was wearing party hats and Mari held a beautiful cake with a candle depicting my age. I giggled. "At least act surprised, Gami.." Luka mumbled. I smiled, "My apologies, Viper."
I pulled him down gently by the collar of his shirt and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Thanks, you guys." Alya and Nino led me over to the living room where everything was decorated and prepared for the living with all my favourite desserts and little snacks. Are they trying to fatten me up today..? *chuckles*. The movie was already set up on the television and Marinette was busy cutting the cake.
Luka then pulled me along to my room. "Marinette's present to you is in there. Don't take too long." I smiled, "I won't." He leaned and softly pecked my lips. "Good~." I closed the door and took a shower, coming out seeing a neatly wrapped gift box on my bed. I opened it and it was a cute little onesie in my signature colours. My smile turned into a frown.
The atmosphere out there...was anything but happy. It was tense. Their smiles hid their true feelings. What happened while Luka and I were gone? I walked out of the room in my new pj and everything was ready. I was the missing piece. I sat in the middle, Luka to my left and Mari to my right..but Alya sat next to Luka instead of next to her.
Luka then broke the awkward silence. "Okay let's start this movie." Luka placed his arm around me and I adjusted to suit. I took a piece of my cake to my mouth and damn was it delicious. Marinette was quick to pull her blanket up to her shoulders, hugging her knees tightly to her chest. I giggled, rubbing her back.
The movie was great and by the end of it Nino was knocked out and Alya was already planning the next movie to watch. It was currently 11:19pm when we were half way through the second movie. I noticed that Alya had also fallen asleep. It was just me, Mari and Luka now. I sighed, "You two wanna tell me what the problem is?" Luka's body stiffened and Marinette turned away.
I groaned, "Just come out with it.." Marinette sat up upon the couch and mumbled, "Klarion's been...bothering me recently. Alya confronted me about it today and it threw me off. I also saw that chaotic boy today while you two were out. He's toying with me, but I'm fine." I frowned, "Mari..have you told at least the Outsiders..or even Jerry?"
She chuckled a bit, "If I told Jerry, he would be here right now. And..I haven't told anyone else- but I think Damian's figured it out. Perks of being Batman's son I guess." I sat upon the couch next to her and rested my hand on her shoulder, "Thanks for at least telling me before the day came to an end. Confide in us more..okay?" She smiled, "Alright.."
The movie then broke through the silence with a shrivelled noise and Marinette jumped making me giggle. Luka laughed as Marinette smacked his head. "So then when do you have to go back to heroing?" I asked. "Tomorrow morning. I have a briefing with the Batfamily then a stealth mission later that night. It should be fun I guess..."
I hugged her, "Just be careful, okay?" She nodded, "Alright." Luka got up and ruffled her hair, "Well now, let's clean this place up and get these two to bed." Marinette stood up and levitated the two sleepyheads to their rooms. Luka and I got to work on tidying up the living room. "I'm..worried about Mari." I mumbled. Luka came up behind me and hugged me, "I know she'll be fine."
"Okay lovebirds, don't blind me tonight." Marinette spoke from behind us. Luka grew bashful as I giggled. "So you'll be out before we wake?" I asked as she replied with a nod. "Don't forget to give Jerry his piece of cake when you leave. Good luck, Nettie." She hugged the both of us and we hugged back, "Of course I will." Little did I know, her mission tomorrow wouldn't go as planned.
~~~~~~~~~~Damian's POV
The bulk of the team was already in their costumes waiting for the others to arrive in the cave. At about 5:25am, a portal opened and Nettie walked through in her costume. Brown and Cain were the first to greet her followed by Todd then me. And just in time, Jerry and Alfred found themselves in the caves at the same time. "Hey Nettie. How are you doing this fine morning?" Stephanie spoke.
Nettie smiled, "I'm alright. How are you guys?" Todd was quick to put his arm around her and ruffle her hair. "Ready for another mission, pixie?" She giggled, "Ready as I'll ever be. Also Jerry, your piece of cake." He took the small box with a little smile. "Thank you. Have you eaten yet?" She paused but Tikki was quick to answer. "No, she hasn't eaten breakfast yet."
Alfred made his way over to her with a plate of french toast, eggs and bacon. "T-Thanks Alfred." Finally the last two people arrived. Grayson and Gordon and unexpectedly Zatanna. She along with Gordon made their way up to Nettie. "Ah, you must be Nettie, nice to meet you. I'm Barbara Gordon also known as the Oracle." Nettie stared down at her in her wheelchair.
Zatanna asked, "What's wrong?" Nettie handed her plate of food to me and kneeled down in front of her, "I've heard tales of batgirl but after a while, she had gone into hiding. I suppose this is the reason. You know, I could heal you...if you want." The room fell silent. "Y-You could..heal me..? Not even-" "Nettie, what do you mean you can heal her?" Zatanna butted in.
"It's as I said, I can heal her. Of course if she wants to remain like this, rolling around in a handicap, then she can. But I'm giving her the option. My powers have been evolving ever since our last mission. So, Oracle..do you wish to remain the Oracle or return to the Batgirl?" Father placed a hand on her shoulder as she thought.
"Do it." Nettie stood up as Father stepped back. "Nettie, you've only been able to heal yourself before. Are you sure you can-" "Tikki, I'll be fine and so will Miss Gordon. Trust me." She responded quickly. She shakily exhaled and opened her eyes. They drowned in a blinding white colour and her hands followed as they hovered over Gordon's body.
Gordon's body glowed a bright red as flowering ladybugs appeared on her thighs. They shone brightly and flew in a chain around her before dispersing off her body, vanishing. Netties eyes dimmed until the glowing fully died down. I could tell her legs felt weak so I quickly positioned myself behind her ready to catch her if she fell over. And so she did after a bit, but fortunately she was conscious, but dizzy.
Grayson made his way over to Gordon and held out his hand. "D-Did it work, Babs? Wanna try walking?" She took his hand and she slowly got up, her legs wobbling a bit. Suddenly, small, soft weeps crept through the anxious silence in the cave. Gordon. "I-I..can feel my legs- I can walk.." She straightened her legs and wobbled over to Nettie giving her a hug. "Thank you..so so much.."
She smiled softly, "My pleasure." I noticed Zatanna and Father off to the side whispering about something. Plagg sat himself on my shoulder. "They're probably worrying about Nettie and her magical abilities. Zatanna probably noticed it. The kid's powers are growing at a fast rate. Faster than the previous Guardian's. You know..Fu.." I narrowed my eyes.
They're clearly worried about something. I grit my teeth and muttered, "Is Nettie..going to die..?" Plagg's eyes widened then his face turned into one of mystery. "It is possible..but only time will tell." My eyes widened. "A-Are you..being serious..?" He floated off my shoulder then went over to Tikki who flew next to Nettie.
Is Nettie really going to die...?
